I leaned against Gu Heng, feeling the steady and powerful rhythm of his heartbeat.
Thump.
Then another.
As if all the suffering in the world melted away with each beat.
" Wan'er," Gu Heng's voice was deep and gentle, like the snowmelt under the warm spring sun, nourishing my parched heart. "From now on, I will never let you suffer again."
His words flowed into me like a warm current, dispelling the chill that had accumulated over the years and melting away the last remnants of ice in my heart.
I gently closed my eyes, savoring the tranquility and peace of this moment.
After all these years, I had finally found my safe haven.
"Gu Heng," I lifted my head and gazed into his eyes, those deep orbs reflecting my small figure. "Thank you."
Thank you for being a part of my life.
Thank you for everything you've given me.
"Silly girl," Gu Heng tenderly stroked my hair. "Between us, there's no need for thanks."
He leaned down.
Gently kissing my forehead.
In that moment.
I felt as if I were floating on a cloud.
Light as a feather.
Yet incredibly grounded.
Just as we were pouring our hearts out to each other.
A surprising piece of news arrived.
Xie Yu's illness.
Had completely healed.
I was overjoyed.
Barely able to believe my ears.
"Really?" I exclaimed, gripping the hand of the maid who had come to deliver the news. "Is my sister truly better?"
The maid smiled and nodded.
"Absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. Miss Xie's complexion is much better than before, and she even has a long-awaited smile on her face."
The weight on my heart.
Finally lifted.
I took hold of Gu Heng's hand.
Eager to visit my sister.
I entered Xie Yu's room.
At a glance, I saw her.
She was sitting by the window.
Basking in the warm sunlight.
Her complexion was indeed much better than before.
A long-lost smile graced her face.
"Sister," I said excitedly, taking her hand and feeling the warmth in her palm. My eyes couldn't help but become a bit misty. "You’re finally better!"
Xie Yu smiled gently.
"Yes, thanks to Ruan Lang. He tirelessly sought out renowned doctors and finally found a way to heal me."
At the mention of Ruan Lang, a faint blush appeared on Xie Yu's cheeks.
The corners of her eyes and brows radiated an undeniable sweetness.
I understood in my heart.
It seemed Ruan Lang's efforts were not in vain.
He had finally won my sister's heart.
"Sister," I said, looking at Xie Yu's happy expression, genuinely pleased for her. "What are your plans for the future?"
Xie Yu looked at me, her eyes filled with longing.
"I’ve discussed it with Ruan Lang. Once my health improves a bit more, we plan to travel together, exploring mountains and rivers across the land."
She paused for a moment.
Then added, "To see the magnificent landscapes of this world."
I felt genuinely happy for my sister.
She could finally escape the torment of illness.
To pursue the life she desired.
"Sister, this is a collection of calligraphy and paintings I've gathered over the years. Take it as your travel expenses," I said, handing a package to Xie Yu.
Inside were the carefully curated pieces I had collected throughout the years.
Though they weren't priceless treasures,
they represented my heartfelt gesture.
Xie Yu did not refuse.
She gratefully accepted my kindness.
"Thank you, Wan'er."
"Sister, between us, there's no need for thanks," I replied with a smile, mimicking Gu Heng's tone.
Xie Yu looked at me,
her eyes filled with a hint of concern.
" Wan'er, what about you? What are your plans for the future?"
I glanced at Gu Heng,
his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
I took the initiative to hold his hand.
Our fingers intertwined.
"Sister," I said firmly, "I want to be with Gu Heng for a lifetime."
Xie Yu smiled with relief.
"Good, good."
She repeated the word twice.
Her eyes were slightly reddened.
" Wan'er," I gazed affectionately at Gu Heng, my heart filled with happiness and sweetness, "from now on, we will never be apart again."
Gu Heng tightly grasped my hand in return.
His eyes were filled with determination and promise.
" Wan'er, I love you. I will spend my life protecting you."
The sunlight fell upon our clasped hands.
It seemed to bless our future.
"Sister," I looked at Xie Yu, "you must come when we get married."
